Rick Springfield, “Venus in Overdrive” (New Door) He’s a soap star. He’s a rock star. Springfield has sold more than 19 million records, and he’s not stopping there. In his own words, this “is an album about love in all its forms, and since Venus is the goddess of love, it’s called ‘Venus in Overdrive.’ There is a lot of personal stuff in these songs but we have tried to craft them so they still have a universal voice. We are older, yet still teenagers, we have lost people we love and still love the people who are on our journey with us, we are angry at some of the crap in the world yet love our human failings.”
Alice Cooper, “Along Came a Spider” (Steamhammer) He was once controversial. Now he hosts a syndicated rock show on FM stations across the country. Does Cooper still have an edge? Check out these songs on MySpace and see for yourself.
